Tour Notes

Must write memo to Omem Tsum: don't incur any expenses in Rucni.
*
Tragedy at Denword: Mort Sleam drowned in the Ydegrat
Maelstrom.
*
Krap park: Nobody liked the name except Ydobon, Dekil, & Eman.
*
Looking at the Somen was Nemo's idea.

Skip Piks: it is as overrated as Detarrevo.
*
What Dottie Eittod had written on the Eton note was FUCK KCUF.
"Who or what is Kay Cee You Ef?" asked young Deksa Gnouy.
*
Stopped at Deppots, ate the world famous Daerb bread, drank
Reebknard beer. Does anybody know why it is called that?
*

OF BABAR

i

graven images of babar
in the apartments of babar
have a future and babar
is spherical like pascal

ii

at the beginning
mother & father
created babar
& all the stars

iii

the dancer can't step twice
into the admirable
very admirable
booties of the great babar

iv

plus babar minus babar
do not say such oppositions
can be swung to give a semblance
sweetened wry pragmatic semblance
of an instance of babar

v

the only way forward
as it now appears
is through misty babar
o seductive illusion
of the absence
of the loving
babar
